The GIJoe Trivia Game: Because knowing is half the battle!

This is similar to the SW Film Trivia Game I started in Classic Trilogy. I'm going to throw out five questions, and if you answer one correctly, you ask a question to replace it. These questions can be related to any aspect of GIJoe, but please be sure that if it's a story-related question that you specify comics or cartoons, because they tend to differ widely (such as Cobra Commander: 1,000 year-old snakeman or disgruntled used car salesman?).

1) (Comics) Which high-ranking Cobra has a biological son or daughter on the GIJoe team, and what is the name of his (or her) kid?

2) (Cartoons) Who or what was Cold Slither?

3) (Toys) The VAMP Mark II and Cobra Stinger both featured drivers who were repaints of earlier characters. Who were they?

4) (Comics/Toys) Who is the only character created for the current (Devil's Due) comic to be made into an action figure?

5) (Toys) Stephen King and his son created a character in the 1980s, and King wrote his/her/it file card. What is the character's name?

Re: The GIJoe Trivia Game: Because knowing is half the battle!

Cold Slither was a band created by Cobra that used hypnotic music to control the audience. The band Cold Slither was made up the Dreadnoks I believe.

Of course once Joe kicked their butts and realized that they had stadium full of people expecting a concert and no band, GI Joe stepped up to the plate and delivered one heck of a concert themselves. Honestly bring back Cold Slither, Joe sucks.

QUESTION: (Cartoons) What GI Joe character made an appearance on another 1980's cartoon? What show and what his/her screen name on that show?

Re: The GIJoe Trivia Game: Because knowing is half the battle!

Cobra Commander appeared, sans costume, in one of the post-movie episodes of Transformers. He trapped several Autobots in synthoid human bodies. I believe his name was "Old Hiss" or "Old Snake" or "Great Snake" or something. It's supposed to be subtle up until the "surprise" battle cry of "Cobraaaa!" in the end, but it's really painfully obvious who he is supposed to be.

Ees thees correct? I'll hold off on posting a follow-up until I get your confirmation if that's enough info since I'm not sure about the name.

Re: The GIJoe Trivia Game: Because knowing is half the battle!

Your right El Chuxter. I believe CC's Tranformer name was just Snake.

I haven't seen the episode probably since I was a kid. I wonder if there were any scenes with dialog between CC and Starscream. For some reason I never put together that they were the same actor until I was much older.

1) (Comics) Which high-ranking Cobra has a biological son or daughter on the GIJoe team, and what is the name of his (or her) kid?

Billy was Cobra Commander's son, though I did not remember Billy ever being an official member of the Joe team. I thought he was just on the outskirts with Storm Shadow. Is the answer Billy and was Billy ever an official member of the Joe team?

5) (Toys) Stephen King and his son created a character in the 1980s, and King wrote his/her/it file card. What is the character's name?
